Peril at the Exposition

I really enjoyed meeting Jim in Murder in Old Bombay. When given the chance to continue this series, I happily accepted.

While this took a bit for me to warm up to, overall I ended up enjoying it. I've seen mixed feelings with regard to Diana and how naive she is, and with how unbelievable her journey in Chicago seemed. On one hand, I understand where these readers are coming from. On another, Diana doesn't have the experience or knowledge that Jim has and she is learning as she goes along.

I actually enjoyed reading from her perspective and watching as she hones her detective skills, learns from her mistakes, and becomes stronger both in heart and mind. I especially love the dynamic between her and Jim and am hoping for a case that they solve together. I look forward to the next installment.

I sincerely appreciate St. Martin's Press for the review copy. All opinions expressed herein are my own.
